What's the best wave you have surfed?

I am sure this has been posted before, but im interested to know.

I had to think hard on this one, and can't come up with just one wave.

I would say:

Restaurants - Fiji
Soup Bowls - Barbados (during the Katrina swells)

[Shaunm]

Margs/Yallingup region

[Kunji]

Cloud 9 - The Philippines

and

#####'s - ###### ###

[dammit__01]

havent bean to manly places at all but for me cresent head 4-6 foot was the best. 4 strait days of the point ... ahhhh

[andycumo]

mid north coast around easter time 4-5ft pumping everyday for a week straight pipe-backdoor style waves just goinbg off
winki

[meatball]

a spot in the south pacific

[2nd Reef]

Certainly not the most perfect or well shaped, but the wave I've got the most sense of satisfaction and achievement over the years is Sunset Beach.

Actual best shape would probably be G-land.

Place I have my best sessions and feel more at home than anywhere else - Cronulla Point (dead south swell, SW wind, 8ft, low tide rising, woooo...)

Top 5 in no particular order

The Abrohlos Islands (Any wave) (however you spell it)
Blackfellows
Cape Naturaliste
SA secret
NSW Secret


My friend will second that spot in barbados, he wont stop blabbering about how good the surf was in the carribean last time he was there. Who would have thought 6 ft perfection!

[Nick Carroll]

G-land.

Sorta with you 2nd reef on the Sunset satisfaction call, but I've had three or four surfs at Grajagan that remain unmatched on all possible measurements of Goodness.

But far out, then again there's been too many other surfs, too many other waves to count.

[crooked]

4-6ft periscopes- water like oil, my mate and 2 other dudes and barells so many barells!

[swift]

Macca's was really fun.

Anchors (Morocco)

Mundaka

But I can't go past some of the sessions at Boulders and the Ox when I lived up that way.

[2nd Reef]

Yeah Nick. I can remember nights laying in a sandy bed quietly basking in the afterglow of another epic Sunset session.

And I can remember days coming in from sessions at G'land where I was full of adrenalin and shaking so much the nasi goreng would just vibrate off my fork. Soooo f*cken perfect!

[stoive]

LA,



West Coast Tassie

are two spots that stand out for good surfs

[aitch]

Beach Break: Sandbar 4-6 foot for a week, A-Frames, bowls, long walls and tubes for days... only the savage sunburn let it down.

Reef: Uluwatu 95 - Inside corner into Racetrack 6ft plus almond barrels and walled up goodness.

Point-break: Green Island about 92 - most perfect bowls ever for three days.

Rivermouth: Cherating, east coast Malaysia. Like a backwards, un-developed Byron Bay Pass - not that great but waves for kilometres.

PS: Top post.

[2nd Reef]

Hey Aitch!

Do you mean Sandbar, south of Solito? If so, was it after they dredged the lake entrance? Cos I had a couple of days there last autumn where the council did just that during a blazing swell. Just pumping it was. Paddling into 6'-8' A-frames with Kirra going one way and Mundaka the other.

[Clif]

Kirra, sometime in 80s, but my mind is foggy from then

Desert Point '96

Cylinders, Straddie ... too many to remember.

Sth Straddie ... same same

Unnamed point break ... somewhere north Simeulue

Unanmed slab somewhere ... Aceh

[Chamberess]

somewhere around avoca or there abouts...

[scroopulis]

Speedies

Supertubes

and Collaroy Point.
